hmmm... alright man, when u do, get XP instead. As for $1800 on a Macbook, aren't those listed for $1499 for the middle range (Mid 2007 prices)? Where did you get the $1800 price?

Customizing it. LOL.
I added a lot to it *cough*

I seem to go crazy when I get to choose what I want and its not my money being used.

Ummm, you should've went stock and install a larger hard drive and RAM yourself. It is marked as user-installable items.

That could've saved you A LOT of money.

For most of add-on components.
PC and mac should both use the same type of hardware such ide drive, usb ... etc.
If you could found a drive that is wrote for mac.
You even can use pc version.

So, the most expensive one might be the core system.
Then that will depends on your type of usage and budget !
PC could lower as US$ 300-350, but mac will cost you $US 1300 or above.

I'm actually using my mac right now! I'm starting to really hate my Windows XP boot as it's just so buggy and poor at connecting to my router. I'm currently dual booting with XP and openSUSE 11. and to be honest, I'm really starting to like Linux more and XP less.

As for Mac v.s. Windows, I think Apple will really start to take the market as they're becoming more stylist, popular and able to run Windows apps (due to intel chip).

I'm looking to get a laptop, hopefully Mac. The cheapest I can find is £656 on Apple Edu-UK, Amazon is 696. Should I bother looking for cheaper?

Well, 656 pounds equals to CAD$1,267 and the second lowest priced Macbook is CAD$1299 (before taxes) so I guess it's a good deal.

Are you at uni? If yes (or you have a mate at uni) get them to log on through the campus internet and buy it that way. You'll save money by using the student discount.

The Edu-Uk store is the other half of the student stuff, though its only 8% discount.

Is it worth trying that procureweb thing at college (your high-school)?

xboxrulz
Well, you should try it. 8% discount is 52 sterling pounds off, that's still money.

    time of any OS, including Mac, Red Hat Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX (any HP-UX fanboys in the house?).

    Windows Vs Linux 1-Security is depend on many parameters in per network, and only operating system
    can't to meet to cover the security. For example : a few years ago a company employed number
    of peoples to search in the papers and rubbishes of Microsoft and find Codes of Microsoft, and
    found important information . Then we can see that the security of a network is depend of many
    factors that we may don't care about those. Windows and Linux have weaknesses in security, but
    because of many users of Windows, naturally the weaknesses of Windows is discoverable....
